I gave this puzzle to my son for his second birthday. He loves puzzles, so it was an immediate hit. It is a more challenging than the puzzles that he is used to. When you lift up the letter G, there is not a letter G underneath, rather a picture of grapes. I think that the skill that this puzzle requires may be a little advanced for him; however, it is precisely for that reason that I purchased this toy. I love its educational value.

I purchased this product to help my pre-schoolers learn the alphabet. They like working with puzzles so I thought this would be a great way to reinforce the alphabet. The kids love putting the letters in the slots, they use the see inside pictures to help them place the correct letter. I personally like the see -inside picture that gives the kids a clue to what letter it is. For example, grapes start with 'G', so the kids know to place the letter 'G' there. Even if they don't know the sounds, after working with them consistently a couple of weeks, they will remember where the letter goes.

My son loves it and so do I! He loves it because it ABC and I love it because it has pictures under each letter. I love the pictures because if he doesn't know where the letter goes I can say the pictue and sound it out for him.

I bought this puzzle (along with several other Melissa and Doug puzzles) to keep my 2 preschoolers busy while I homeschool my eldest-- and also to sneak in some learning with my soon-to-be-kindergartener!
What a great purchase. These puzzles are so well made and so colorful. And the bonus of a peek-a-boo surprise under each letter had my little ones even more excited to lift each letter! What a great combination of learning and fun!
We've enjoyed all the peg puzzles by Melissa and Doug, would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

We got this for our 2.5 year old boy. He has been enjoying it. It is cool that it is both fun, with all the colors and items to see underneath the letters, and educational, learning the ABCs. Very cool!
